Factual errors: When Tessa is videochatting (under Windows XP) the FFWD/REW controls are clearly visible in the interface. Above the video a text can be read "Buffering 500 mbps", a speed which is impossible to achieve on most lines, especially the consumer-grade connection that the German activist is using.See more »

Quotes:

[first lines] Justin Quayle:Oh, thank you Arnold. I... I can manage that. But I still don't see why you couldn't wait a couple of weeks. Why go all the way up to Loki? Tessa Quayle:Well, we want to hear Grace Makanga speak, and she won't be coming to Nairobi.See more »

Slow tension building thriller that is charge even more with the great
performances of Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes, who both bring an
essence of realism to their roles and a sense of chemistry that is
really not found in movies like this anymore. Rachel Weisz brings a
ferry fury that is ripe in it's convictions and Ralph Fiennes brings a
cool, collective zeal that is a slow building timer ready to
emotionally exploded at any minute. Both performances compliment the
fine directing of Fernando Meirelles, who gives this tale a sense of
brilliance in its storytelling and a sense of the way the world really
works. It's a heartfelt story of lost and redemption and it's
hauntingly poetic in it's horrifying look at the horrors of a world
that is willing to cast a blind eye at the problems of big business and
corrupt governments that are willing to do anything in order to make a
fast buck. Even going as far than to destroy human life to achieve
their goals.
